The defending champion, Pankaj Advani will now take on Singapore's Peter Gilchrist to defend his 150-Up World Billiards championship.

Both have gone through a fantastic performance and won their respective semi final matches one-sided. Where Gilchrist defeated Sourav Kothari 5-1, Advani beat Nalin Patel of England in straight set of games 5-0.

Advani who played phenomenal so far in this championship did not allow Nalin to settle down at any stage in first three games and crafted magnificent breaks of 102, 106 and 95 to lead 3-0. Though Nalin had good chance in fourth game to recover where he made a break of 110 but failed to take it to the finishing line. Advani who was waiting for the chance cleared it to raise the lead 4-0. Nalin had meager chances in fifth game, but can't do much as Advani produced two breaks of 68 and 76 to win 5-0.

On the other side, Peter Gilchrist got some resistance from India's Sourav Kothari, Gilchrist was more determined.  He scored decent breaks in all six games to win 5-1 to confirm berth for final. Kothari tried his best in between. In fact he won the fifth and a break of 124 in sixth game but all that was not enough to stop Gilchrist in anyway reaching into the final.
